World Class Journey:  Achieving World Class Performance through the Lean Manufacturing Toolset

Lean Manufacturing is the prevailing improvement methodology used to achieve World Class performance.  But most companies have a problem knowing where to start and which lean tools should be implemented to begin and sustain the journey to World Class performance.  This workshop begins with an overview of the Lean Principles, the Lean Toolset, and World Class performance metrics.  It then introduces an Improvement Methodology with an imbedded “Opportunity Analysis” used to define the specific lean tools to be implemented, the benefits, and where they are to be implemented.
